Joystick axis modifier
I recently picked up a Logitech Attack 3 along with IL2 '46 (A bargain at 30 bucks total for both)
I had an idea for the rudder control as the Attack 3 joystick doesnt have a twist axis: I want to use the trigger as a modifier and use the x-axis to control the rudder. Unfortunately the game doesnt seem to support axis modifiers... Is there any way around this? Last edited by IonicRipper; 01-21-2012 at 03:16 AM. |

I'm not quite sure what you are trying to achieve. Are you trying to use the X axis for aileron normally, and for rudder with the trigger pressed? Even if you could get it to work, I don't think you'd find that very helpful - you need to be able to use both at the same time to fly properly.

Can't help with axis modifiers (no idea what they are TBH!), but you could buy another USB joystick cheaply and canabalise it to make rudder pedals and give you some more programmable buttons.
Even if your stick had a twist rudder, some planes do not have rudder trim in game as in RL, which means you have to keep it twisted against the force of a spring and this gives you wrist ache. The more you fly this way the quicker the wrist starts to ache when you fly. Having pedals increases immersion tremendously. You could fly without the rudder to start with but your shooting may suffer as a result. Good luck! |

Or just buy some pedals or the Extreme 3D Logitech stick (very good value). And this Hall sensor and magnet arrangement is under the metal cover in the middle: |

I use the attack3 as well, and for my rudder/throttle I have a second stick, RaiderPro, at my left side. Kind of like flying a crane, but the top hat on second stick, RaiderPro, gives me 8 more toggles switches a thumb length away, and the triggers another 2.
I find the buttons on base of stick are out of range to be of any use, and I keep sitting on the ones at the base of Attack3, so I disabled them, or have no settings. This also give me two sliders, one for ele trim on attack3, and for prop pitch, on RaiderPro. |

I have a slightly twisted setup. I was using a stock X-52 and having a grand old time. Well, something came loose in the joy sticks PS/2 port (best I can tell anyway, without tearing it apart) so this left me with a throttle but no stick. I had let a friend borrow my old Logitec Extreme 3D Pro to play RoF on his PC cause mine wouldn't run it. Needless to say, I had to take it back earlier then expected. So now, I use the X-52 throttle with the Extreme3DPro. I ended up with an extra axis out of all of this, since this stick has a slider. Now I have radiator, pitch, elev and rudder trim all on axis, which make flying sooo much easier. This is the best setup I've ever had, all thanks to a hardware malfunction, LoL!!!

if you still have the receipt most places would take it back if its less than 30 days . Kind of pointless having a joystick with no rudder control.
